Asics: Barcelona Marathon

A nice and simple idea executed with a Twitter/Instagram aggregator for this years Barcelona Marathon, on behalf of principle sponsor, Asics.

The idea was to share what ‘I run for …’ or ‘I cheer for …’

All submissions were pushed live on to a bank of screens, and out to the ‘MyAsics’ Facebook page.

In time, we’ll use the data to create further content, and explore see the differences between what runners run for in Barcelona, Paris, Rome and other major marathon’s that Asics sponsor. Next time ’round, we’ll ensure it’s snyced up with the RFID runners ‘bib-chip’.
